The self-contained RRIU provides the necessary infrastructure to support remote radio units (e.g. MIDS LVT, ISR datalinks, G/A/G voice) including a host computer offering local control and status monitoring, ETR capable GPS/PTTI receiver, V/UHF and HF radio transceivers, all antennas and VOIP for remote MIDS Voice. The RRIU may be procured and operated on a standalone basis as a remote unit for radio downlinks.

The Monitoring and Evaluation Unit provides a central node for geographically remote operation of radio terminal subsystems, including software, discretes and crypto keying/rekeying. The MEU capability can also be integrated with the COUGAR tactical data processor, to provide a multilink C2 node.
